Some people connect the ups to a larger deep cycle battery for longer service when the power goes out. Of course I doubt any of this can help you with the project at hand.
If you are able to sell the servers you got a few people interested here, but thats another story.  |
We actually have a huge rack of small SLA bats and I brought about 15 of them home for testing my bike with. So I have those on the garage floor. After I'm done with them I'm giving 2 to a co-worker for a car jump pack.
I'm actually looking at keeping the SLA batteries and getting a solar setup. Use the UPS and batteries to power some electronics and solar charge the batteries.
As for the servers, those aren't sell-able. Sorry. I was just looking to re-use the stuff that was getting tossed in dumpsters or taken to recycling centers.
